The Guard at the Gate

Description

Today, we explore the concept of protection through the story of Abraham in the Old Testament. Often, we think of protection as guarding ourselves from negativity, but true spiritual security comes from doing good, serving others, and embracing unconditional love. Swedenborg teaches that arrogance separates us from divine wisdom, while humility and kindness open us to God’s protection. When we live with love and purpose, we find the deepest form of security—not in isolation, but in connection. May we walk this path together, grounded in faith and service.
